[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1281761, member: 90071"] If I was in your position I would buy A Leupold 4.5-14x 40 or 50 with a Boone and Crocket or TMOA reticle. The only difference between MIL and MOA is the distance your turrets move the reticle and the distance your reticle represents and the thickness of the reticle itself MIL being metric MOA being american "yards inches" it really comes down to what method of measurement you are used to and prefer.` If you don't dial for shots I don't think it really matters might take a little extra thinking when sighting in but once you are sighted in shouldn't really matter. I prefer SFP 1. I use a rangefinder so I don't need one for ranging But even if I did need to range most all SFP work the same as a FFP at one particular magnification setting. 2. I personally think the reticle on FFP is to fine at low power and to thick at high magnification. 3. For the most part FFP scopes are bigger bulkier and heavier and I personally like a more streamline rifle scope combo for hunting. As for what reticle I suggested the Boone and Crocket or TMOA because with shooting practice you can determine what yardage each line or dot in the reticle represent at a particular magnification setting. And I don't feel either reticle is to busy. If you are like me and most shots are within 300 yards it is mostly point and shoot no need to mess around with the scope. Any shots that are longer than that I have time to prep for the shot /range the animal, dial the scope, check wind things like that. [/QUOTE]
